Threaded replies via REST API time out (selectedMessageGuid parameter) #771

Description

Summary: When sending threaded/reply messages via the BlueBubbles REST API
using selectedMessageGuid + method: "private-api", the request hangs and times
out after 10 seconds with no response. Regular messages and reactions work
fine.

Key details:

  • BlueBubbles 1.9.9 on macOS Sequoia 15.5, Private API connected
  • Simple messages and reactions work perfectly
  • Adding selectedMessageGuid and partIndex causes the hang
  • No errors in server logs — it just never responds
  • Multiple message GUIDs tested, all verified to exist

Likely culprits to investigate:

  1. The Private API Helper may have a bug or incompatibility with threaded
    replies on macOS Sequoia/15.5
  2. The partIndex value — some users report needing to omit it or use different
    values
  3. BlueBubbles 1.9.9 may have a regression — worth checking if there's a newer
    version or if this is a known issue in their GitHub
